Cardi B's "Invasion of Privacy" has been nominated for Album of the Year at the 2018 Grammy Awards.
The Album is in the same category with Drake's "Scorpion" but Cardi B has been tipped to win the Award.
The nominations for 2018 Grammy Awards were announced Friday and one of the nominees was brought to tears live on television.
Singer Janelle Monáe - along with Alessia Cara and Shawn Mendes -- announced some the nominees on "CBS This Morning." Monáe became emotional when her "Dirty Computer" was announced for album of the year.
She said she was moved because the project is "about community," especially the LGBT community of which she is a part.
"I hope they feel seen," Monáe said. "I hope they feel loved and I hope they feel celebrated."
Fans of H.E.R., the singer/musician who wears sunglasses and guards her privacy to keep the focus on her music, had plenty to celebrate with her multiple nominations.
She scored nods for best R&B album, album of the year and best new artist.
Shut out from some of the biggest categories was a female singer who has garnered a lot of attention this year: Ariana Grande.
There was controversy early on when rapper Cardi B and rapper/singer Post Malone were deemed ineligible for the best new artist category.
But the pair did well anyway.
Malone's "Beerbongs & Bentleys" is up album of the year, as is Cardi B's "Invasion of Privacy."
Her hit "I Like It" is also up for record of the year.
